Installing a geothermal system is more involved than putting in a standard AC, but with the right team, it’s straightforward and hassle-free for the homeowner. The process requires digging or drilling to place the underground loop system that makes geothermal so efficient. At Powell’s, we handle all the details—site evaluation, permits, excavation, loop installation, and system setup—so you don’t have to coordinate multiple contractors. Whether your property is in Harrisonburg, Martinsburg, Leesburg, or anywhere in between, we have the equipment and experience to get the job done right without unnecessary disruption to your home or yard.
Geothermal installation is a specialty service—and not every HVAC contractor has the know-how. Powell’s has the training, certifications, and hands-on experience to design and install geothermal systems that work flawlessly for decades. We understand Virginia and West Virginia’s soil conditions, climate, and permitting processes, which means no guesswork and no costly mistakes. Our team uses top-quality equipment, follows strict installation standards, and backs our work with solid warranties. Plus, we’ll walk you through the process in plain English so you know exactly what to expect from day one.
The timeline depends on your property and system design, but most geothermal installations take two to five days from start to finish. This includes preparing the site, installing the underground loop, connecting it to your indoor equipment, and thoroughly testing the system. Larger properties or more complex loop designs may take longer, but we’ll give you a clear schedule before we start—and stick to it. Our goal is simple: get you enjoying efficient, reliable heating and cooling as quickly as possible while making sure every detail is done right.
